A Month of Thanks, Day 14

Today I am thankful for the capacity we, as people, have for forgiveness.  Not just for my own capacity to forgive, but also for others to forgive me.  I know that I have made mistakes.  I will be the first to admit that I'm nowhere near perfection, and I am thankful that I have people in my life that can see past my imperfections and forgive me for the unbecoming or hurtful things I have done.  I understand that some things hurt, or embarrass, and I can't tell you how amazed and thankful I am that people can forgive for that.  I am also grateful that I can forgive, that I can look at someone who has hurt me and reason out that they make mistakes too, and forgive them for their indiscretions.  How blessed are we all to have that ability in our hearts, and how thankful am I to be able to access it.
